Two more families have arrived in Wagga Wagga, joining more than a dozen families in the country's largest Yazidi community. Hundreds of thousands fled I-S in Iraq. The Riverina community in regional New South Wales is welcoming the refugee families as part of Australia's commitment to accept some 12,000 asylum seekers from the conflict.
